News this half term

The children have had a very busy start to 2015!

The children have enjoyed participating in the ‘RSPB Big School’s Birdwatch‘. They have worked hard to secure their ability to identify common garden birds. They have observed and counted birds seen in the school grounds.

The results for ‘The Big School’s Birdwatch 2015’  are as follows:

2 Starlings

2 Jackdaws

1 Robin

2 Magpies

2 Woodpigeons

2 Blue Tits

1 Long Tailed Tit

2 Great Tits

1 Blackbird

1 Black-Headed Gull

Beautiful paintings have been produced in response to their first hand experience of bird watching.

Following observations of child initiated interest in class, the children have been investigating and exploring ‘building’ and in particular, building walls. They have particularly enjoyed sharing and responding to the stories of Little Lumpty (with reference to Humpty Dumpty) and the story of ‘The Three Little Pigs’. 

The children have explored the concept of slope and gradient, acting out the rescue of ‘Little Lumpty’ from the top of the high wall.

The children have extended their skills with handling tools to aid their construction of structures.

So as you can see we have been very busy and have learnt lots.

Next we are going to explore the topic of ‘Fairy Tales’, because the children have demonstrated a strong interest in this topic.
